Decontamination Applications

Natural Occurring Radioactive Material consists of materials enriched with radioactive elements found in the environment. They are usually brought to the surface by oil and gas exploration or mining. NORM wastes can be treated in a VacuDry® unit in order to prepare it for a safe sub earth disposal.

Ion exchange is an exchange of ions between two electrolytes or between an electrolyte solution and a complex. In most cases the term is used to denote the processes of purification, separation, and decontamination of aqueous and other ion-containing solutions with solid polymeric or mineralic `ion exchangers`.

Deterrence is the cornerstone of Defense, reflected in today`s nuclear military vehicles (submarines, aircraft carriers, aircraft, etc.) and sensitive sites.
Defense calls on Saphymo`s exhaustive product range to secure its personnel and equipment and shoulder the emergency services in case of a CBRN threat.
All military units are required to be fitted out with detection and decontamination devices, and possess the special expertise needed to manage exceptional events. Nuclear military sites must also be...

All described properties of Fe(0) nanoparticles can be even used for decomposition of pollutants contained in the waste water, mainly for treatment of industrial sewage and hutch water. The usage of nanoiron can represent a significant qualitative step in the classical technologies of water treatment including drinking water. The extremely reactive iron nanoparticles thus offer a possibility to solve long-lasting problems with a high content of uranium and arsenic in a variety of localities in the Central...

Large amounts of hazardous waste, contaminated waste and dirty laundry are handled in modern hospitals, and so hygiene and staff safety are important. This is why it is important to find sustainable waste solutions which do not require waste to be physically touched. This is achieved with the Envac vacuum system.

BioSolve Pinkwater is used for cleaning/decontaminating tools and equipment at remediation sites, in refineries, on drilling rigs, following spill cleanup, and in industrial maintenance operations. Generally applied with standard pressure washing equipment. Most oil and tar build-up can be washed away on contact. For more severe contamination, use of a hot water system may yield better results.

Tetronics` technology destroys organic wastes including Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) and other types of Persistent, Bio‐accumulative, and Toxic (PBT) pollutants at very high efficiencies across a wide range of concentrations.

The threat of terror in the form of chemical and biological warfare agents has been a reality globally since March 1995, when the Aum Shinrikyo sect killed 12 people and injured nearly 6,000 by releasing sarin nerve gas in the Tokyo subway system. More recently, the 2001 anthrax attacks in the USA was a wake-up call that the threat is real. Recent outbreaks of H1N1 and SARS posed threats of worldwide epidemics because air travel provides a means for these diseases to spread globally in less than 24 hours. A major...

Fugro EMU Limited provides turn-key marine environmental services to major oil and gas providers in the UK and overseas by combining its multi-disciplinary capabilities in environmental consultancy, ecology, geophysical and metocean survey, geology and laboratories with its fleet of dedicated offshore vessel services. Fugro EMU vessels enable its consultant teams to deliver project specific needs from exploration through to development and decommissioning in addition to oil spill contingency planning. This...

ENTACT is the industry leader in the management and treatment of heavy metal impacted soil, sludge, and debris. Approximately half of the projects we have completed over the past 21 years have involved metals. These projects have included soil and sediment removal, residential cleanups, smelter closures, earthwork/mine reclamation, and decontamination and demolition of mine and mill structures at both active and abandoned facilities. ENTACT holds seven patents related to treatment of heavy metal impacted materials.

When concrete is contaminated with PCBs, radiation or other hazards, scabbling is often the only means of remediation. By removing a thin outer layer from a concrete surface, our shrouded power tools can make a structure safer for occupancy or demolition. Our powerful VAC-PAC® HEPA vacuum captures all dust, debris, and air-borne contaminants for easy transportation and disposal in standard 55-gallon (200L) drums. Whether you’re applying a new coating system or a concrete overlay, a Concrete...

Pentek is the industry leader in manufacturing, engineering and designing specialty surface decontamination technologies and processes for nuclear applications. Our technology offers a safe and environmentally friendly methodology that removes, collects and packages the waste in a single-step manner. Since 1981, our products have been used for critical work scopes in the nuclear weapons complex, commercial nuclear utility industry, and various DOD sites where strict controls are a prerequisite. The...

In connection with treatment of emissions from the pharmaceutical industry it is neccessary to observe stringent restrictions on biological air contamination. The use of PLAZKAT units in the pharmaceutical industry not only allows effective treatment of biological contaminants in the air, but also of harmful impurities.
